S.W.A.T. 20 Minute Assault!! 8/22/2011

[murrieta angler]

Headed to the beach, since it was a 1 foot swell, at around 11:30. Upon arrival the wind was blowing pretty good from the NW, maybe 8-10 mph. I started off using my bait caster but needed to get out the spinner to get more distance.
I was there maybe 20 minutes and landed this flatty,

Sorry about the first picture, it taped out at 25 ½”. I think it weighed around 8 pounds.

Hey Robert,
You engaged the enemy head on and slammed it down hard again! WOW! You are the HOOK SETTER!! You have definitely been one impressive S.W.A.T. member to follow with all of your success lately. Way to slay the BIG butt! Would you ever allow a newbee to tag along for some fine tuning, huh? Because I would definitely jump at such an opportunity to fish with the man!
Again Congrats!
SP Dan <")))><

[blackwater]

Nice Butt Robert, goes well with your six pack. :Wink:
SWAT rules the surf!
